A friend of mine has this boat and we are unsure as the MFG. Is there anyone who would know what it is worth?
This is what I know.
1996 18' Jet boat with a chevy 350, 120 hours, in excelent shape garage kept only. weight of about 650lbs. single axel trailer included. Possibly made by TROPHY CUSTOM MARINE but I have never heard of them?
Here are some photos

Sure that’s a 96?
I thought it could be a Carrera Eclipse however the transom looks weird with that plate looking thing on it… what does it say on the pink slip? How about the registration? Try running the hull numbers through DMV…
Looks like a fun boat….

So it looks like it was built for or by Dana Boats. Now if I had an idea of what it is worth?

Smiley and I had the idea to build that boat, trying to compete with the retail price of two jetskis/water craft. It has full stringers, small motor rails, and a unique "ski locker" with a bar to keep the skis in place. I called it the 'ski locker sock'. Smiley used the name Trophy and I am Finish Line Boats. Look up Finish Line Boats in N.A.D.A. I called it the "Rocket", it came standard with everything you have except the Place Diverter. You may recognize the hull as being the 'Dana Dart' 17' 6", that 'plate' over the transom covers the outboard well that was in the deck mold. Yes the stereo and 4 speakers were in the base price.
